social presence in relation to students satisfaction and learning in the Online Environment
Computers in Human Behavior, 2017Co-Authors: Jennifer C Richardson, Yukiko Maeda, Secil CaskurluAbstract:Social presence, the ability to perceive others in an Online Environment, has been shown to impact student motivation and participation, actual and perceived learning, course and instructor satisfaction, and retention in Online courses; yet very few researchers have attempted to look across contexts, disciplinary areas, or measures of social presence. This meta-analysis allowed us to look across these variables of the primary studies and identify the pattern of student outcomes (e.g., perceived learning and satisfaction) in relation to social presence through scrutiny of differences between the studies. The results showed a moderately large positive average correlation between social presence and satisfaction (r=0.56, k=26) and social presence and perceived learning (r=0.51, k=26). Large variation among correlations (86.7% for satisfaction and 92.8% for perceived learning, respectively) also indicated systematic differences among these correlations due to Online course settings. We found that (a) the strength of the relationship between social presence and satisfaction was moderated by the course length, discipline area, and scale used to measure social presence; and (b) the relationship between social presence and perceived learning was moderated by the course length, discipline area, and target audience of the course. Implications and future research are discussed. This meta-analysis examined the relationship between Social Presence (SP) and students' satisfaction and perceived learning.Strong positive relationship between SP and satisfaction.Strong positive relationship between SP and perceived learning.Course length, discipline, and SP scale significant moderators for satisfaction.Course length, discipline, and audience significant moderators for perceived learning.

Preparing Future Nurse Educators to Teach in the Online Environment.
The Journal of nursing education, 2019Co-Authors: April D. Matthias, Elizabeth A. Gazza, Amanda TriplettAbstract:BACKGROUND With the proliferation of Online courses in nursing education and professional staff development, future nurse educators must be prepared to teach Online. The purpose of this article is to present an educational innovation created and evaluated to prepare future nurse educators to develop, design, and deliver an Online learning module for distance education. METHOD A combination of instructional scaffolding and applied learning was used to teach nurse educator students how to facilitate learning in an Online module. RESULTS Analyses of student assignment scores, student reflections, and faculty observations demonstrated the instructional strategies were effective to prepare students to develop, design, and deliver education Online. CONCLUSION Instructional scaffolding and applied learning enhances student engagement and effectively prepares nurse educator students to teach Online. The strategies are easily adaptable to diverse academic and professional development settings and various learning management systems. [J Nurs Educ. 2019;58(8):488-491.].

Online Political Debate: Motivating Factors and Impact on Political Engagement
2013Co-Authors: Asbjørn Følstad, Marika LüdersAbstract:Online political debate is increasing in importance, both as a real world phenomenon and as an object of scientific study. We present a survey study exploring people’s motivations for engaging in Online political debate and how such debate may impact their general political engagement. The survey was conducted among 90 participants of an Online Environment for political debate hosted by one of the main Norwegian political parties. We found four motivational factors with relevance for participation in Online political debate: engaging topic, want to contribute, frustration, and reciprocal learning. Sixty-four per cent of the participants answered that the Online Environment for political debate could make them more politically engaged. These participants reported that such an increase in political engagement could be due to the Online Environment providing a sense of influence, access to political debate, a means for getting updated, a lowered threshold for participation, motivating local political engagement, and awareness concerning political events.
